Although ncbugeye is of the early type which had the flexible side screens, which I have, I was very fortunate to purchase for a nice low price on EBay a pair of (I think) original sliding sidescreens with all the metal parts and the "glass" parts although one of them is broken (as advertized). They need a significant cleanup and polishing job, but the only missing stuff is the seals.
Can someone post or send me a picture of what the bottom seal looks like and how it attaches? Also is there any material in the channels, or does the plexiglass just run in the bare metal? I remember my Mini had some kind of fabric in there - the Woody Traveller was famous for having green moss and other less savoury things grow in the rear channels if you didn't clean them out regularly.
Would Lexan be a good substitute for the plexiglass these days? I can buy that at my local Home depot.
